Life is full of crazy moments, ups and downs and mixed up plans. My life changed in September 2008 when my fiancé was killed in Iraq. Nothing like what I planned, I continued forward. Support from friends and family, as well as my inner strength kept me moving. Now married and raising a pup, I am taking life one moment at a time, living in the present, and working to be happier every day.

Lazy Sunday

Lazy Sundays make me think of you too. I can remember you telling me that Sundays would be your favorite day once you were back. We could (possibly) go to church, come home and have lazy days where we just lay around in sweats and watch TV, catching up on "us" time. Lily and I have had a lazy Sunday today. I woke up and took her for a little walk because it is so cold. It was very icy as well and I almost fell. Then I was laughing and did fall, dropped the leash and everything. I was worried Lily would take off but she was so startled by the abrupt fall that she just cowered down and looked at me like "what are you doing on the ground, mom?!" Thank goodness I didn't have to chase after her after that fall. Other than that I've eaten cookies and watched America's Next Top Model re-runs all day. Now that it's 4 I feel like I should be doing something. Due to some advice on the headaches, I have also been drinking some water!

We have friends coming next week. Friday Mike's roommate and his fiancee are coming for a visit. I haven't seen Matt since before they both deployed. They will be staying at our place. It will be very nice to see them but it will be hard too. When I went to Texas to visit we would all hang out, watch movies, or go to Austin together. I am pretty sure that once they are here it will be fine. Thinking about it makes me excited and nervous.

Adam and Katie are also coming at some point in the next week or so. They are leaving Texas and driving to Columbus. They want to come up for a day and go see mike, possibly meet his family, and hang out for a little bit. As part of the back story- they introduced us. Katie is one of my best friends from high school and when I went to visit her and her then-fiancee, Adam, in Texas they had invited Mike over on a whim for dinner along with another couple. We (obviously) hit it off well so we definitely thank them for the accidental introduction!

So it should be an interesting week/weekend. I love you so much, Michael.
